Upon the rear face of the door, near its bottom is a catch73consisting of a block V 74 provided with a vertical groove 7 5, Ad-

jacent the catch the floor 17, as shown in Figure 9, has an oblongcavity 76 across which extends a pivot pin ZTupon which is pivotallymounted a vertical latch 78 comprising a. body 79 provided in its rearface with a vertical transversely T shaped groove 80 in which isslidably seated a vertical rod orpla'te 83 having upon .its lower end ahorizontal rearwardly directed arm portion '85 3 provided with an oblongslot 87. A vertical lateral rib 88 upon the body 79 is adapted to enterand leave the catch slot 75 as the latch body is vibrated upon its pivot77. The rod 83 is maintained in normal or depressed position by ahelical :spring 89 attached at one end to a pin 90 on the top of thebody 79 and at its other end to a pin '91 in the rod 83 above the body.

I The latch is moved through a vibratory 1 lever 92 pivoted intermediateits length upon a pin "93, to the lower face of the partition 23, asshown in Figure 5. A pin 9-1 in the 'upper v face of the leverfnear oneend, P10160133 throughan' arcuate slot 95 in the partition. One end ofthis slot, as shown in Figure 1 is in the path ofthe cam edge 41 of thecarrier base The pin 941s held in V constantcontact with this carrier bya helical spring 95* attached at one end to a pin "96 on the end of thelever and a pin Q'Y in the partition. Hence at each reciprocation of thecarrier the'lever 92 is vibrated. When the rod 83 is in elevatedpo'sitionrits upper extremity is in the path of the lateral edge of thelever '92 vwh-ich moves the rod vand body 79 laterally, as shown inbroken lines in Figure '9, thus withdrawing the rib '88 from the latchgroove and freeing the door 69.

follows. A plate or floor 98, normally inclined'upwardly and rearwardlycovers the base 17, and has a rear longitudinal portion or strip 99engaging the back 19, and flex ibly connected with the main portion ofthe plate by resilient plates 100 fixed l by pins 101 or otherwise tosaid portions. The lower forward portion of the floor is flexibly con-.nected with the base by, similar flexible plates 102 fixedby pins 103thereto. In this instance the floor 98 is covered with a fabric 104 andis overlapped by a longitudinal stop shoulder 105 fast toxthe back 19. Aplate 106:is attached "to the rear upper face of the floor and has ears107 carrying a pivot pin 108in the rear end of a link lever 109comprising a link portion 110 and an inter mediate lever arm 111depending from the link, and passingthrough-an oblong slot 112 in thefloor, with its rounded end resting on the base 17. Upon the forward endof the link portion vof the lever is 'a pin 113 movfable in the slot 87;In this instance a heli- -cal spring 114 has its ends attached to thelink 109 and floor'9 8, but this spring'may be omitted. 7

;As the coins entering the lower compartment of the casing increase innumber their cumulative weight gradually depresses the niem'ber 98 uponwhich they rest, until the compartment isvfull and said member reaches ahorizontal or nearly horizontal position.

During this'descent the fulcrum'ing lever arm 111 slidin along the base117 shifts its shown in broken lines in Figure 7, and es-' cape. Thefloor 98 relieved of the weight of the coins is returned to originalelevated po' sition by the spring "89 and, when present, the spring 114.
